Hoskinson has flagged a critical concern: transitioning to post-quantum cryptography could potentially decelerate crypto development by as much as 10x. The implications are significant for the entire ecosystem.

Meanwhile, QuantumX is set to go live with its merger on Solana on January 18. This strategic move introduces quantum-resistant security infrastructure designed to protect XRP holdings. The integration aligns with XRPL's broader initiative to build quantum-resistant protocols—a proactive approach as the industry braces for quantum computing's eventual impact on current encryption standards.

Such developments underscore how projects are beginning to address this looming technical challenge head-on.

Ten times slower? Then we need to hurry now, or quantum computing will directly render us useless once it arrives.

10x slowdown? Is this really true? It sounds a bit alarmist... But the idea behind QuantumX is still quite innovative.

Sliding down at 10 times the speed? That’s pretty terrifying, but we should have prepared for this earlier, right?

10x slowdown? Oh my, how slow does that have to be? It's better to just halt altogether.

It's true that post-quantum cryptography is a serious matter; we must be prepared in advance, or else when quantum computing arrives, it could directly cause chaos.
